About Unitversal

Type a conversion into a search engine and you get a number in a second. Getting the number was never the problem. Knowing whether it means what you think it means always was.

A correct number can still mislead

An ounce is 28.35 grams. A fluid ounce is 29.57 milliliters. The two figures look alike enough to be confused, and they do not measure the same thing. A converter that hands you one when you wanted the other is right about the arithmetic and wrong about the point.

The US gallon is 3.785 liters, the imperial one 4.546: a twenty percent gap on a tank of fuel. A level tablespoon and a heaped one differ by half, and no conversion factor makes up for that. A 1 TB drive shows 931 GB without anyone having short-changed you.

None of these traps show up in a result. They show up when someone bothers to write them down.

What Unitversal does

Every page gives the conversion straight away, with no account and no waiting. Then it says where the factor comes from, when it stops being reliable, and what changes from one country to the next.

Factors come from official definitions: the 1959 international agreement on the pound and the yard, the International System for lengths and masses, IEC standard 80000-13 for data units. Nothing is approximated from memory, and the methodology page details every source.

Content is written in each language rather than translated from one original. The Arabic version discusses the Egyptian feddan, the Hindi one the bigha, the Japanese one the tsubo, because that is what a reader looks for before the acre.

What the site does not do

No advertising, no consent banner, no tracking. Your conversions stay in your browser: no value you enter is ever sent to a server.

A page weighs under ten kilobytes to load. That is not a technical feat, it is what happens when nothing is added beyond what you came for.
